I've heard mixed input about towing an automatic vehicle with a tow bar. Is it necessary to disconnect the drive shaft when towing my auto Ford Bronco? Some say my transmission will be fried because fluid won't pump yet I see automatic cars towed behind rv's all the time and I don't believe that all of the older folks towing them remove/install the drive shaft every time they tow or drive it. Does anyone have first hand experience?
